Wife and I are working Habitat for Humanities this weekend. Any suggestions?
Food, tools, anything?

Just want to make sure that we are prepared.

Thanks.

3. If you have some tools that you like, I'd recommend bringing them.
They'll provide hammers and what not, but it's never the same as the things you use all the time.

Also, just be prepared to work and not mess around. I did Habitat a few years ago and there were a few people there who treated it like blue collar fantasy camp, doing some work, but not taking it seriously. Just bust your ass for one day and become the star volunteer that the staff really winds up being grateful for.

4. Pace yourself --
wear your sunscreen, and stay hydrated. :hi: It is a great experience, you will love it.

6. Dress for the weather in old clothes.
HFH will work you to death and you'll love it.
